Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service Choose FirePass SSL VPN to Reduce Operational Costs and Improve Connectivity

Buckinghamshire Fire and Rescue Service's (Bucks Fire) control room has handled an estimated 600,000 calls and currently receives an average of more than 400 a week. Fire Control deploys the service's 554 firefighters and 42 specialist fire and rescue vehicles to a variety of emergency incidents - mainly fires and road accidents - in response to 999 calls. Buckinghamshire deployed FirePass which provides a secure SSL based remote connection and only requires clients with a web browser and internet connectivity. The system automatically checks the integrity of the user device and authenticates the user before allowing access to end-to-end SSL encrypted data. After the user disconnects, FirePass cleans up any confidential information left on the client device.
